1

Trim pork butt of all excess fat leaving 1/4 inch of the fat cap attached. Combine apple juice, brown sugar, and 2 tbsp Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub in a small bowl. Stir until most of the sugar and salt are dissolved.

2

Inject the pork butt every square inch or so with the apple juice mixture.

3

Season the exterior of the pork butt with remaining rub.

4

When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 250° F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

5

Place pork butt directly on the grill grate and cook for about 6 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160° F.

6

Wrap the pork butt in two layers of foil and pour in 1/2 cup of apple juice. Secure tin foil tightly to contain the apple juice.

7

Increase grill temperature to 275℉ and return to grill in a pan large enough to hold the pork butt in case of leaks.

8

Cook an additional 3 hours or until internal temperature reaches 205° F. Remove from the grill and discard the bone. Shred the pork removing any excess fat or tendons.

9

Season with additional Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub and salt if needed. Add Traeger Sweet & Heat BBQ Sauce.
